What's your go-to online dictionary?

OneLook. It's a meta-dictionary that lists other dictionaries which have the word. It also has a reverse lookup and pattern search which I frequently use.

Each definition has a discussion page for pointing out errors and the like. And if you're complete certain of something and can back that up with a source, you could even edit the entry itself.

For wackier definitions and slang, I like UrbanDictionary. I'd say Wiktionary, but someone already suggested that one.

I've also used dictionary.com and thesaurus.com in the past. Obvious names, but they're not terrible.

But back to UrbanDictionary - there's a lot of craziness and dross on there, but there are also plenty of diamonds in the rough.

As a native Japanese speaker, I primarily use the following three online dictionaries:

• Eijiro, an English-Japanese and Japanese-English dictionary
• Kotobank, which contains specialized content primarily in Japanese
• e-words, a dictionary specializing in information technology terminology

Wiktionary https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Wiktionary:Main_Page

Just search "define [word]" on duckduckgo. Works for like 95% of things I'm looking for.

The French version is really good.

When I was learning Japanese, I used an app called i mi wa https://www.imiwaapp.com/ that I found pretty useful

[classic@fedia.io]

Nice. I like that it's Québec French to boot

Yeah I am doing college in quebec, and it's the online dictionary the teachers recommend.
